Kingsley Family

Our Kingsley ancestors came from Pirton near Hitchin and it is generally agreed that we are descended from John Kingsley and Mary Furrian who were married there in 1780. In 2017 this was confirmed by DNA tests with many ancestry.com ‘matches’ that help to research the lives of their offspring and many grandchildren. Luckily John’s will has survived showing that he was a yeoman farmer owing property as well as giving an immediate double check on the names of their offspring.
